DAP0004 Important and beautiful Dutch Herbal: CRUYDT-BOECK BY DODONAEUS 1608. He is the founder of the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden that still exists.

	Author / Publisher	Dodonaeus / Plantijn van Ravelingen Leiden 1608
	BookTitle	Cruydt-Boeck 1608 volgens sijne laetste verbeteringe. Met Bijvoegsels achter elck Capittel, uit verscheyden Cruydtbeschrijvers: Item in 't laetste een Beschrijvinge vande Indiaensche Gewassen, meest getrocken uit de schriften van Carolus

	Description	This book is effectively the Dutch translation of the "Stirpium Historiae Pemptades" which is Dodonaeus best and last work. Has very old owner entries from: Everdingy antwerp 1628 and from Balthasaris Lydij. The book begins with a fine frontispiece with a view into a fine garden (the Leiden Hortus Botanicus) seen through an architectural gate richly decorated with fruits and plants and 2 medaillon portraits of Dodonaeus and Clusius below, by Willem Isaakz. Swanenburg, and approx. 1470 woodcuts of herbs in text. (8), 1580, (80) pp. Folio Size 24 by 36cm. First edition of this monumental Dutch herbal. The "Cruydt-Boeck", not to be confused with the "Cruydeboeck" first published in 1554, was de facto a translation in Dutch of the "Stirpium Historiae Pemptades Sex, Libri XXX", first published by Plantin at Antwerp in 1583. The "Stirpium" represents Dodonaeus' best and last great work: a monumental botanical study, divided into 6 large sections, each containing 5 books, with classification of the plants in 26 groups which was far superior to all his former classifications. To this translation Joost van Ravelingen, the translator, added considerably. After each chapter he inserted, in smaller print, additional information on the virtue of the plant taken from the "Cruydeboeck" if not present in the "Stirpium", and new information or descriptions of new plants taken from the work of other authors, like C. Clusius, Math. de Lobel, etc. At the end Joost van Ravelingen added a whole new part on exotic plants taken from the works of Clusius, Garcia da Orta (Horta, or de la Huerta), Nic. Monardes, Chr. Acosta, etc. The woodcut illustrations are for the greater part the same as in the "Stirpium", the woodblocks evidently having been taken over by the Plantin House at Leyden, but there were several alterations made and some replacements, while 25 new woodcuts of new plants were added, not counting the 52 new woodcuts in the extra supplement on exotic plants from Asia and America. Rembert Dodoens, Latin Dodonaeus (Malines 1517-1585), was the first great botanist of the Netherlands. Click on the photo and use "<" button under the photo to see additional photos.

Third German edition?, first published in 1579, in the translation by Johann Fischart, of the vehemently anti-Papist satire by Philips Marnix van St. Aldegonde, the soul and genius of the Dutch Reformation and Rebellion against Spain (1548-1598). The book, first published in Dutch in 1569, became immensely popular and was translated in German, English and French.. Written for the people and combining all the criticism and frustrations sixteenth century people felt against the Catholic Church of Rome, it surpassed by its satirical form, full of amusing wit as well as of biting scorn, anything ever written on this topic. The present German edition is corrected since the first and now also the index is translated and added to the work. Click on the photo and use "<" button under the photo to see additional photos

Book Title	1) Leo Africanus Africanii Descripto IX. lib. Absoluta 2) Persia seu regni Persici Status

Description	Two very rare and important books bound together: 1)Leo Africanus: AFRICANI Descripto IX. lib. Absoluta. With Engraved title page. With early owner signatures on title. Translated into Latin from the original Italian. Overall a fine copy. Leo Africanus, born Al-Hassan ibn-Wazzani, was born a slave in Granada of African descent. Following the end of the Spanish Reconquest, his family left Granada for North Africa and Al-Hasan received a fine education and entered on a life of travel and adventure. He commenced his travels in 1511, and they were continued till 1517. Leo was the only original authority on the state of Northern and Central Africa, during the period at which he wrote. (Mendelssohn I, p.885). Leo's work remained for centuries a major source on the Islamic world (...) and in particular, on political, economic and social life in North Africa (Encycl. of Islam). On one of his trips he was captured by Christian corsairs and taken to Rome and presented to the Pope, from whom he received patronage and protection. Because of his outstanding literary ability (he had already written a draft of this book in Arabic when he was captured), the Medici Pope Leo X freed him, converted him to Christianity and became his patron. This book, a detailed account of Africa, its trade routes, geography, terrain and people was an exceptionally important source for information on the continent and is generally considered the first book written by a person of primarily African descent. First Elzevir printing, originally published in 1550. 24mo. 800p,14p. (two volumes bound in one, paginated consecutively). Blockson 101 : "Any edition of Africanus works is rare and is the cornerstone of any collection of African history." 2) Joannes de Laet (1593-1649) Persia seu regni Persici Status variaque itinera in atque per persian cum Aliquot Iconibus Incolarum Duodez. 374 p., 8p With engraved title and 8 pretty fullpage woodcuts with persian costumes.

Description	ad 1) Martinus Schoock was professor at the university of Groningen. By the mid 17th century Holland had become the most important trading empire in the world. This resulted in a growth of population and increased needs for energy. Today the key-source of energy are gas and oil, during the 17th century turff was a key source of energy. The economic growth also resulted in plenty capital being available. So several projects were started to slowly drain swamps and produce the turf, transport it to the west of the country and use the regained land for agriculture. Apart form draining wetlands, canals had to be dug to transport the turf to the west.Overall a major a major undertaking and important for the economic expansion of Holland. . ad 2) Antonio Bonfini was an Italian humanist and poet who spent the last years of his career as a court historian in Hungary with King Matthias Corvinus

References	ad 1) Van Dijk: Schoocks tractatus de turffis is historically seen very valuable because his work tells us about the activities to produce turf in the north east of Holland (e.g. Bourtange in Groningen). It is probably the only book about this subject published during the 17th century.
